Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) produces the clearest image of the brain as it uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain's structure and can also provide information on brain function. CT scans (A) use X-rays to create images that are not as detailed as MRI scans. EEG (C) records brain activity with the use of electrodes attached to the scalp, but does not provide a detailed image of the brain's structure. PET scans (D) involve injecting radioactive tracers into the body to visualize brain function, but do not produce as clear an image of brain structure as MRI scans.
